Designing a Space that Inspires Creativity

Do you feel inspired to work creatively in the space you've set aside? Meg Mateo Ilasco's book Craft Inc.: Turning Your Creative Hobby Into a Business includes a great list of tips to keep your space inspired:

• Make your space a reflection of yourself, whether that means being colorful or minimalist.
• Maintain an inspiration board on wire and hang photographs, clippings, and swatches. Feel free to layer images over one another and to change images often to follow your whims and interests.

Indian Mustard Decor

Oranges, mustard, saffron. . .these are colours and foods that make me think of India. The main walls in my home were supposed to be custom mixed to a lovely shade of orange, but turned out far too neon for my tastes. Still, I find it easy to imagine my place decked out with lush furnishings and vivid colours as seen in these pictures:

Organization - Inspired Spaces

One of my favourite things to do is to look at other people's creative spaces to see how I can improve mine, but also to sit and dream for a while. I can just think of how organized my space would be if my studio area was bigger. Like, wouldn't this gift wrapping station be nice, especially having just started my online store?!
